I used a pressure washer to rinse the cleaner and it looks like I've removed stain from some spots while others retained it.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI stained my Pine deck with TWP Cedartone two years ago. I am going to do a maintenance coat. I cleaned and brightened it but it looks really splotchy because some areas the stain is completely gone while other areas still have it. If I put two coats down of TWP Cedartone will it end up looking splotchy? I've always used a stripper in the past and this is the first time I'm trying a maintenance coat rather than a complete re-do.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI have an Ipe deck and used the stripper and brightener about 5 days ago with great results. There's now rain in the forecast over the next week - how long can I go with the deck stripped before staining, and if I go over that time period what should I do before staining?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStain within 2 weeks or so is okay. If longer, lightly pressure wash two days prior to stain.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHow do I decide if i should use the cleaner or stripper for step 1?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThat would depend on the current condition, what stain if any is not he wood, etc. Pictures would help as well.

We will reply to your comment shortlyJust bought a house and would like re-paint my desk. What are the steps based on the pictures? Do i just apply Wood Stain Stripper or do I have to sand the paint out? Need Help. Deck is a good size 16ft x 23ft.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStrip off what you can and then sand after if needed. You can cover the stain that is not peeling with the RAD Solid stain.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI have ordered stripper and the 2 additives. Believe I read elsewhere that a garden sprayer or a brush could be used to apply. Wondering if a 3/8 " to 1" roller could be used? Also do you have to use a pressure washer to remove?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou apply with a sprayer. You cannot apply with a roller or brush. Pressure wash off to remove.

We will reply to your comment shortlyhi - I have a 2 part question. My deck is 10 y/o pressure treated with solid stain on deck and rails. Some of the deck and rails is newer after repairs 2 years ago and the new wood has not been painted or stained. After reading the posts below, in order to remove solid stain it sounds like the RAD stripper+additives won’t remove the stain and it should be sanded then brightened before restraining with solid stain of a similar color, correct? If not what do you recommend?
Do I need to power wash or brighten the deck before sanding to remove any dirt, algae, or stains?
thanks in advance.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou do not have to remove all the current solid when coating with the RAD Solid stain. Remove what you can and then you can cover the rest. Use the Stripper and pressure wash off as much as possible.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThanks! As far as how many gallons I need, the total sq ft of deck, rails, and skirts is approx 615 sq ft with some excess sq ft included. I will def need 2 coats, so I calculate 2.25 gallons per coat for a total of 4.5 gallons. Correct?
thank you-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAbout 5-gallons is correct.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHi - as for the railings, the spindles are in decent shape, do I need to strip the solid stain off or can I just clean and brighten then paint with solid stain. Thanks.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyClean and brighten is fine.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyFor application of the solid stain do you recommend a roller?, if so what type and nap size?
or use a brush similar to the wood stain process?
thanks.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyBrush and roller for the solid stain. 1/2" nap.

We will reply to your comment shortlypressure treated pine deck about 5 years old - has had a total of 3 coats of olympic maximum acrylic oil based stain and sealant applied in that time (2 coats at 1 year, 1 coat in year 2 after a simple cleaning/pressure wash). stain is worn on floor and steps but someone commented that it looks opaque due to multiple coats and it may not be able to be stripped for that reason. gets partial sun/partial shade throughout the day and has some pollen or mildew. would like to stain with a more resilient brand.
can this be cleaned and brightened OR does it need to be stripped and brightened if i want to apply a new brand of seal (ideally, one of yours) OR do you agree that it can't be stripped and I should clean it then apply an opaque/solid stain to cover?
thanks in advance for your thoughts.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyA stripper will not remove a solid stain completely so you would have to use the Restore A Deck Solid Stain. The best way to prep is to pressure wash with the Stripper. Neutralize after with the Brightener. This will remove as much as you can of the current stain.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, does your stripper will remove Benjamin Moore Arborcoat stain? We will like to remove the red stain in our deck to re-stain it along with the new deck addition.
Thanks in advance for your help! -
We will reply to your comment shortlyHi - we bought a house with a solid stain deck that was in bad shape. We recently took out the stairs and scraped some of the stain, now want to strip just the deck (not the railing) and recoat. What would you reccomend? It's about 300 sq ft of pressure treated pine.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt is not possible to strip off a solid stain. You would have to sand it to get it off.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWould your product help to remove any of it before we moved to sanding? Or perhaps a paint stripper?

We will reply to your comment shortlyNot sure what's been applied to this deck in the past. It's looking awful sad after our Canadian winter. Will the RAD stripper work to get this off or will I need to sand it down if I want to use RAD semi-transparent stain? Do I need the booster additive?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the RAD Stripper with both additives. Brightener after.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyMy deck has about 3-4 coatings of Behr semi-transparent stain. What would you suggest to remove all the stain? Here are some pictures...
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThis buildup of coatings is not going to be fully stripped. At this point, it is acting like paint in thickness. You can strip some or most but you will need to sand to get it all off. If you want to strip as much as you can then use both additives with the stripper. Let dwell for an hour and pressure wash off. https://www.restore-a-deck.com/rad-stain-stripper-additives.html

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am wondering how RAD would work stripping this cedar siding. I plan on using Armstrong Clark Semi-Solid for a finish. Thanks in advance!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes it will but use the Thickening Gel as well: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/rad-stain-stripper-additives.html
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyPerfect. Thanks again! I've got about 4,000 square feet to strip. How much of the stripper, additive, and brightener do you think I will need?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly5-6 of these kits: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/order-restore-a-deck/rad-kits-best-price/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit/flypage.tpl.html
Same for the gel as you need one per stripper.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyCan these products still spray from a garden sprayer well with the thickening gel added?

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello RAD Team:
I prepped my PTP with Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner. I applied one coat of Olympic Maximum Cedar Natural Tone Semi-Transparent Exterior Stain and Sealant in One as you can see in the picture. The color is much more orange than we hoped for, which brought me here. I was planning on just sanding the old Olympic stain off the top boards, and starting over with a RAD stain. Is this recommended, or do I need to use my deck cleaner again before sanding and stain application?
Thank you,
Jesse-
We will reply to your comment shortlySee here about new wood: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/Deck-Cleaning-Reviews-and-Tips/restore-a-deck-stain-for-new-wood.html
Sand it off, let it weather longer, clean and brighten the wood for prep.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat benefits would using the cleaner before the stripper add, if any? I'm curious before I make my order.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo need for the cleaner if you are using the stripper.

We will reply to your comment shortlyMy porch floor has been coated at least 4 times with sikkens rubbol paint over the past 25 years. Ii is now pealing and I would like to remove it and apply your product. I'm thinking your stripper will not remove the sickens and I will have to sand it off with something like a drum sander. Is this correct and can you make any suggestions?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, this will need heavy power sanding to remove fully.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI used the RAD Stripper this weekend on my deck and the old stain has been really difficult to remove. I believe the old stain is Benjamin Moore - Arborcoat Semi-Transparent. I applied the RAD Stripper twice. The first time I let it set for 20 minutes and the second time for an hour. I used a power washer in both cases. I was planning on getting another batch of the RAD Stripper and also the booster additive and trying again. This time also using a brush along with the power washer.
Do you think this will work and should I also get the thickening gel?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat you have on the wood is a filming forming coating that dried on top like a polyurethane/varnish and why it is shiny. This is extremely hard to strip off as it is not a true penetrating semi-transparent stain but is acting more like a polyurethane. Also is why the BM peeled on you. The Booster and Gel will help some but you may have to sand as well to get it all off.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThank you for the response. What order would you recommend I do each step in? Should I user the stripper + additives, let dry, sand and then neutralize? Or should I neutralize before sanding? Also, would I need to use a cleaner again after sanding?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNeutralize after sanding. You do not have to clean again.

We will reply to your comment shortlyDo you sell smaller sizes of your stripper and brightener? I only have 6 deck boards to strip. They are new boards and the person staining my 10 year old deck stained them while I was away instead of letting them age and darken to better match the old boards.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe do not sell in smaller sizes.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf I strip and brighten one weekend and then apply stain after two weeks will I have to redo everything?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf longer than two weeks you should lightly pressure wash and brighten the deck.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI've cleaned, stripped, and brightened twice with RAD and still seeing some spots with the old stain - TWP Pecan. We'll be staining with TWP 116. Should this be stripped again or sanded prior to staining ?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou should be fine to stain with the Rustic?
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe purchased a house with deck that needs some work. I don’t know if it is a solid stain or paint that is on there now. Can you tell me what you think and if this product would work on it. Pictures attached.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThat is a solid stain. Strip off what you can with the Restore A Deck Stripper. Brighten the wood and then apply the RAD Solid Stain: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/restore-a-deck-wood-stain/restore-a-deck-solid-stain.html
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThank you! Since it has a solid stain on it now will only a solid stain work for it after I strip it and brighten it? I am looking at doing a semi-transparent stain if possible.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou would have to power sand to remove this fully if you want to go with a semi-transparent stain.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI got some of the dissolved stripper on a window when I was spraying it on the deck. It left spots on the window that do not want to come off. I have tried detergent and a razor blade, window cleaner, and acetone. Any ideas?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt should not do this unless the glass has a coating on the exterior of it? Do you know if it does?

We will reply to your comment shortlyPreviously had Behr "Semi-transparent" in Chocolate (which seems a lot more opaque than most other semi-transparent stains?). The Behr was wearing and peeling.
I've done 3 full rounds of stripping and power washing with RAD stripper + both boosters, followed by brightening. This got "most"--but not all-- of the Behr stain off. I just can't bare to do any more prep at this point (sanding this is out), but would prefer to avoid a completely-solid stain covering if there's something that will work.
What's going to get the best results (with easy reapplication of future coats), despite the little bit of lingering old stain remaining? I had hoped the RAD stripper would prep this well enough to be able to use TWP, but it seems like the semi-transparent oil-based might not provide good "coverage" of the lingering Behr?
What do you recommend that I should stain with at this point? (North Carolina, full sun, pine)-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAt this point, you could try the TWP 103 Dark Oak. It will blend much of the old Behr but it will show through slightly and will be a little shiny in the areas it goes over this Behr. The other option is to sand.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOh interesting, I figured the TWP was fairly see-through and would be totally out of the question, especially given that the Behr seems 'more opaque' than the TWP, and that the oil based are more of a "soak in" rather than sit-on-top stain.
Thoughts on TWP 100 vs Armstrong Clark oil based semi-solid for this?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyA dark semi-solid would blend better.

We will reply to your comment shortlyA small vertical section of ny deck is stained with semi-transparent Honeytone. Should I use the stripper, additive, and gel in preparation for using Classic White solid stain. If so, can I use smaller proportions of each? Photo attached.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyJust stripper. No need for the additives in this scenario.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIn one area on a teak table, I accidentally let some of the stripper dry. It had both additives in it. I have sanded and brightened the table, but when it is dry, I can still see an area of darkened wood. Anything I can do? I do plan to seal the table with semco in honey, will it show when finished?

We will reply to your comment shortlyTry applying the brightener again and let it sit on the wood until it dries. Mix a little stronger at 10 oz per gallon of water. Hopefully, that helps.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyShould I rinse after it dries before staining?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes.
